Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a tetrahedron and a trigonal pyramid have distinct geometric and bond-angle differences?

Yes. While mathematically equivalent as triangular pyramids, in chemistry, a tetrahedron and a trigonal pyramid describe distinct molecular geometries with different atom arrangements, hybridizations, and bond angles.
